About me

Hi! I'm Katie Howey! I'm a Creative Director, Product Photographer & Image Wizard based in Chelmsford, Essex, UK.
(also an epic tea maker)

With a nerd-level expertise in photography and obsessing over making things look insanely cool, I've spent over 17 years working with brands, agencies, publishers and other businesses that want more than just 'pretty pictures'; they want visuals that captivate, excite, tell a story, hit the feels and sell.

From working in a cut-out studio as a trainee, quickly being promoted to senior role, to running the show at a pre-media agency, I now head up my own studio (est. 2016).
I bring a sharp eye for deeper detail, a bold creative approach, and a deep understanding of what makes a product image make waves in a highly competitive visual market.
Whether it's cosmetics, drinks, or consumer goods, my work blends storytelling, rich colour, squeaky clean, authentic grit and commercial strategy to create photography that doesn't just sit pretty chilling out - it's hot and works hard for your brand.
